Cheryl James asked Janet Benton:

OMG? I had no idea that this was your debut novel. This book is incredible. My heart was shaking through the book. There are so many Lillie's even in todays society that has to go through so many trials and tribulations just to survive. Thanks for a great story and I look forward to many more.

Janet Benton Dear Cheryl, I'm moved to know that the novel moved you. Also that it made you think of all the women today who face prejudice, wage inequality, difficulty finding and affording good childcare, and so much more. Thank you for reading it! Spread the word. I do Skype visits with book clubs and libraries (and could do with other groups, too), or sometimes can come in person. I look forward to sharing my next novel with you.
